Given RFK Jr’s tin foil hat view of vaccines (and public health in general), it’s only a matter of time before countries start refusing entry to Americans who can’t show they have had shots that entering country had long ago normalized.

"'Cosplaying Nazism': Outrage Over Kristi Noem's 'One Of Ours All Of Yours' Nazi Podium Phrase

In this episode of India Ascends, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is facing a firestorm after a phrase 'One of ours. All of yours' appeared on her DHS podium at a press briefing, sparking online outrage and claims it echoes Nazi-era collective punishment slogans. Critics, including public figures and lawmakers, say the wording and imagery raise serious concerns about authoritarian messaging from the US government."

'Now if there's a nuclear disaster, who are they going to call on as experts?' he asked.

The top officials laid off in the restructuring included the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Jeanne Marrazzo. She succeeded Anthony Fauci in directing the agency that had led the US fight against Covid-19.

Marrazzo - and several other directors - were notified that they were being reassigned to HHS's Indian Health Service division in other locations, according to media reports. They were asked to decide by Wednesday whether they planned to accept the new roles. "

From the article: "The total number of positions eliminated was not clear Sunday, but the firings appeared to focus on employees in the agency’s centers for food, medical devices and tobacco products — which includes oversight of electronic cigarettes. It was not clear whether FDA employees who review drugs were exempted."
